They played consecutive nights; the second night each time was absolutely stellar. Big band, but especially in 2006 they seemed like a perfect unit with an excellent setlist. Alas, the setlist of the first night (where Cashmore joined Tibet for the encore) is the only one I've got.

Saw them on the same tour in Belgium, second night was brilliant, but Berlin was the true highlight. In spite of my bad conscience of not exactly delivering a brilliant paper for my 5-day exam two days after the last show... Simply two electrifying concerts.

Sets in 2008 were vastly different with Birth Canal Blues being the centrepiece - but that's one of my favourites anyway.

Of the 12 times I've seen them, only two have been disappointing; both at the HMV Forum in 2010, but that more due to a backing sanger who didn't seem to know her role and wasn't really up to par.
